Post Question about grammar usage?
"My book has mouth that shouts and warns all evils to stop their malign works on this beautiful, fragile planet"

From this sentence on "beautiful, fragile planet" Can I use two adjectives like that? ..cuz I used to see somewhere in a book, the professional used like that..But ask you have known that professional writer wrote based on the tone...they sometime made mistake on purpose.

Again, my sentence is right or wrong?

Thanks

You can always use more than one adjective to prove your point in showing something the way you want. But again it is advised to use only one adjective before a noun because thats how non-professional writers are supposed to write. If u r asinkg about writing two adjectives before a noun in any exam, better forget it.

Yes, you can use that sentence and also you need an article of some sort in front of mouth.

Restate it, "My book has a mouth, shouting and warning all evils to stop their malignant works on this beautiful, fragile planet."

It's a very creative idea!

yes you can say beautiful, fragile planet.

it's true that writers break the rules. that makes it extra confusing! lucky us.

also a couple other notes on your sentence, you need an article in front of "mouth" like "my book has a mouth" instead of "has mouth." also i think malign is used in the wrong way. maybe saying "malignant" would be better?

good luck to you.

yes...you may..you may used two or more adjectives but be sure they are on their correct positions..like this.. number, quality, size, shape, color..}
but i guess..this sounds bettEr..
My book has a mouth that shouts and warns all evils to stop their malignant works on this beautiful, fragile planet"..or you may say.."beautiful and fragile planet.."

Looks okay to me. If you're ever questioning your own writing, just read it aloud. If it doesn't sound right, it's probably improper.
